Help keep your poultry healthy and comfortable with Barrier Red Mite Powder 500g.

Specially formulated using natural plant-derived ingredients, this easy-to-use powder helps repel red mites before they become a serious problem. Red mites hide in cracks, nest boxes and perches during the day before feeding on birds at night, causing irritation, stress and reduced productivity.

Barrier Red Mite Powder can be applied directly onto birds and dusted into nest boxes, perches, bedding and poultry housing to help create an environment that discourages mite infestations. The slow-release formula continues working for up to six weeks, depending on weather conditions and infestation levels.

The powder is suitable for:

• Chickens
• Bantams
• Ducks
• Turkeys
• Game birds
• Aviary birds
• Other poultry

It is fully HSE Approved (Licence No. 8710) and approved for organic farming systems, making it an excellent natural alternative to traditional chemical treatments.
